DocCamel

Remove sensitive info from any document.

Your files never leave your device.

Turn off your WiFi and try it.

Most "redaction" doesn't actually redact

Drawing a black box in most PDF editors adds a shape on top. The text underneath is still there — searchable, copyable, recoverable. Pixelation and blurring can be reversed.

DocCamel rasterizes the page and re-encodes it. The original pixels are gone. This is permanent, irreversible redaction.

Why DocCamel

• Your file never leaves your device — everything runs in your browser. There is no server to send it to.
• Content is destroyed, not covered — pages are rasterized and re-encoded. The original pixels are gone.
• Hidden metadata is stripped — GPS coordinates, author names, edit history are all removed.
• Works offline — turn off your WiFi and try it. No internet needed.

How it works

1. Drop a PDF, JPG, PNG, or HEIC file into DocCamel
2. Draw redaction boxes over sensitive information, or use auto-detect for SSN, phone numbers, email addresses, credit card numbers, and dates
3. Export — redacted content is permanently destroyed, all metadata stripped

Who this is for

• Sending a lease or pay stub to a landlord, lender, or roommate
• Sharing medical records with a third party
• Handing evidence to a lawyer or insurer
• Protecting a source
• Feeding a document to ChatGPT without handing it to another server first
